 Yes, there is a new king with true wireless buds and yes again, it's from Sony. Now before you fight me and think there's so many others out there, let's find out in the video. So for the past year, the Sony WF-1000 Mark IIIs have been my go-to favorite pair of true wireless buds. In terms of audio quality, it's been impeccable. It's also got some really great noise cancellation and wait for authors is the fact that of course it's got a bulky case and it doesn't have that great of a microphone. So here comes the SP800N. Now Sony, please let's change the name and structure of your your products can get a little confusing but the SP800N comes in bringing in a lot of features that you will find familiar but also taking things to a very different level. Now the price at $199 and what you have here is something of course that comes in quite a rather large case. That's the first thing you'll notice. Sony tends to make larger cases for their true wireless buds and that's just the way it is. The case has USB type-C charging which would give you 60 minutes with a 10 minute charge and in terms of battery life, you get in an extra nine hours if of course you have in noise cancellation or an extra 13. So you can get nine with the earbuds themselves, nine in the case, or of course it will increase with that as well and we'll talk about the battery life in a second. Now taking a closer look at the earbuds themselves, they are on the larger side now if you compare them to the Pixel Buds or the Galaxy Buds Plus they are larger than both of them you know as you can clearly see but what they do have is some really interesting features and functionality and also we get to the audio as well. So you take them out and you put them in your ears. The first thing you notice is that they fit really well. They've got a really nice fit because you've got customizable tips you can use but you also have a wing and that little wing clips on so that when you shake, you dance, you move, you walk around, you run, boom they fit quite well. The other thing of course friends talking about running is that these are sweat and water resistant so which means if you're going for a run like be running outside here these will not fall out of your ears at all because they're built for that and that's also a huge step from the WF-1000 Mark III from last year and I'm glad to see that with these of course. Now in terms of controls you've got touch controls on each ear cup and they are customizable within the app which we'll talk about but they're very simple controls on your right ear cup, one tap to pause and play, double tap to skip forward, triple tap to skip back, press and hold basically allows you to access your voice assistance. Now on the left earbud you've got a tap which basically cycles you through noise cancellation ambient mode on off and that's pretty much it. Now you can switch those functionalities plus of course people who love to use just a single earbud you can do that too and have the functionality although if you're going to use the left one you have to change the controls within the application itself. So speaking of the other feature noise cancellation this is something that WF-1000 Mark III did really well and a lot of people like it in a lot of true wireless buds we've seen them with the Apple Airports Pro but I think the WF-1000 Mark III's had probably the best active noise cancellation and it continues right here. I will say not as intense as the WF-1000 but the SB 800 ends do have some really solid noise cancellation the ambient mode works out really well. Now within the application you can go in there and you can customize the noise cancellation but you do have the ability to use something pretty cool called adaptive sound control which basically judges your location and maps it out so you can change between if you're staying at home, if you're walking, if you're running or if you're in commuter transportation changing your noise canceling levels and also the ambient sound for you and that's an easy way to use it. The app itself is quite rich and basically one of the best apps I've seen for true wireless pair of earbuds. You've got the sound option to help you customize your ambient sound the equalizer gives you a huge range and I'll talk about that more with the audio. You've got 360 audio as well the setup process and you go to sound quality mode then you have the system shows you how to customize of course the controls in each earbud and you also have the ability to do a few other settings as well. Now when it comes to audio which is one of the biggest things you care about these are great they sound really really good. I mean the soundstage is really nice it's a large soundstage but not too big so it doesn't feel like it's floating around. These instrument separations are really clean I mean very very clean. Now when it compares to audio with the WF-1000 mark 3s I think they're about the same this is where the benefit of not having the noise canceling levels as the WF come to play. So you get a cleaner separation between especially when you have ANC on between the instrument so you can hear those syllables really well you can hear the separations from your mids highs and lows everything feels really spread out within that you know soundstage it makes it so clear so clean the highs are so good oh my god they're good they are really good and check this out it also has a little extra bass as well yes these have some extra bass so all you bass fans you get that tucked in there you get that so if you really want just a little more umph in your sound it delivers I mean this thing absolutely delivers it is fantastic so couple that I think it's a excellent audio replication especially what you're trying to listen to depends on what song you are listening to whether it's hip-hop jazz if you're listening to instrumentals you can listen to uh orchestral music you can listen to movie soundtracks you know uh from Han Zimmer like I do uh you know anime songs doesn't matter it works house beat techno you name it now the other thing we care about of course is the microphone now with a lot of people using true wireless buds and the fact that we are you know stuck at home we have to make a lot of phone calls the mic is really really important this is where the wf-1000 mark 3 didn't set the mark last year and I have to tell you the sb-800 ends do a fantastic job really great microphones conversations were clear and clean people didn't realize I was on true wireless buds they just enjoyed the conversation I like the fact that it was clean and robust I think this is where sony really did a huge improvement and took things a step forward for people to use now in terms of battery life you're looking at nine hours noise canceling is what sony says and it is pretty much nine hours nine hours straight with the earbuds and you've got an extra nine hours within the case now of course you take the noise cancellation off you get a bit more and I'll say the battery life is really solid you get what you're paying for and it comes out well I think the overall nature of these earbuds are just really nice there are things that I think it does really well and things I think a lot of consumers will really appreciate because the audio is pretty much top notch noise canceling is up there with one of the best maybe not as good as the wf-1000 mark 3's but really close um you've also got a great microphone and rivals the galaxy buds plus or even the earbuds pro uh so you've got a clean microphone for conversations uh and you've got a great app that allows you to enhance your listening experience and use those active noise cancellation roles altogether now it's not perfect and I know that uh it's still lacking a few things I'm a bit disappointed that with a case this large and also the price point it doesn't have wireless charging now you don't necessarily need it but with the advent of course of reverse wireless charging in many smartphones and the fact that's an easier way to just charge them within the case it does beg to question why sony actually left that out and I'm a bit disappointed there with that and also I wish the case was smaller I get it that you know you've got bigger sized earbuds but I wish the case was smaller because when you put in your pocket it bulges out quite large and it kind of reminds me again of the wf-1000 mark 3's from last year but overall you can't deny and trust me when you try them out you will go yes sony you've made a pair of true wireless buds that sound fantastic they sound great and to me with the audio quality noise cancellation and the microphone plus the battery life this is the new king so of course something else comes out maybe the wf mark 4's but this is the new king of true wireless buds and yes app me on this let me know what you think let me know which is better because I can tell you this is better than the galaxy buds plus the airpods pro the pixel buds you name it this hits tomorrow so if you have any question guys let me know otherwise don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment
